Gianni Infantino's hopes of surviving as FIFA president have been boosted after four Asian nations publicly backed him following the abolition of divisive plans to sell stakes in the World Cup. UEFA partnered with the North‚ Central America and Caribbean confederation (CONCACAF) and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to force Infantino to drop plans to sell a £3.1billion stake in the World Cup to private investors. UEFA and CONCACAF have since called on Infantino to quit - but their ploy to depose the Swiss football administrator has hit a roadblock after Kuwait‚ Qatar‚ Sri Lanka and Lebanon reiterated their confidence in his leadership.
Gianni Infantino's divisive plan to sell stakes in the World Cup appears to be dead after the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) joined UEFA and CONCACAF in opposing the plot - and his senior adviser Carlos Cordeiro has also now quit in protest. Carlos Cordeiro‚ a retired American investment banker and senior adviser to Infantino‚ has resigned from his role at FIFA - becoming the first internal figure to do so.
CHRIS WHEELER: As every megalomaniac finds out in the end‚ there comes a point in the power trip when the writing is on the wall. For the deplorable Gianni Infantino‚ that moment arrived after UEFA's 55 member associations made it clear they will not stand for FIFA's plot to sell off the World Cup to the highest bidders. UEFA will boycott FIFA competitions - including the World Cup itself - unless these preposterous plans are consigned to the dustbin where they belong. Concacaf followed suit with their 41 members also rejecting Infantino's plan.
Mauricio Pochettino cut a frustrated figure as he appeared to row with journalists - despite his United States national team pulling off a historic victory against Uruguay. The USMNT beat their South American opponents 5-1‚ claiming their largest victory against a non-Concacaf opponent since 2011‚ with four goals scored without reply in the first-half alone. But the former Tottenham head coach seemed unable to immediately focus on his team's positives in the aftermath of the friendly fixture‚ instead apparently agitated by a question over his squad rotation.
